Question:medium

The Poiseuille's law applicable to saturated flow in soils states that the flow of water in capillary is

Show Hint

Poiseuille’s law: \[ \boxed{ Q = \frac{\pi r^4 \Delta P}{8\mu L} } \] Very important relation: \[ \boxed{ Q \propto r^4 } \] Small increase in pore radius causes a very large increase in flow.
